Need help for Sunn Parts (Sunn Beta Bass and 215RH)
« on: February 25, 2009, 10:26:06 am »
Hi!
I need your help to find some parts to "restore" my Sunn stuff.
Do you know where can I find:
- a(n?) handle for the Sunn Beta Bass. Fender ones are too short.
- a button for a Sunn Beta Bass potentiometer (the red ones). It seems like it's quite difficult to find them.
- "screwable" wheels for my Sunn 215RH

Thanks a lot and sorry for my terrific english.

By screwable wheels, I presume you mean casters.  I found some great ones at Zzounds.com, cost me about $20 for the foursome.

Yeah, that seems to be "caster wheels", thanks.
Zzounds.com doesn't send to Europe I think, do you think that common wheels (like Ampeg's) will fit?

A pic the stand/support/??? (sorry, I don't the english name of this) on the cab :



I thought we can "screw" the wheel, but it seems to be a "lock system".

You're right, that's a different style.  The kind I bought (as used on older Sunn cabinets) just bolts onto the bottom of the cabinet, nothing intrudes into the box.

Good luck!

your castor wheel just pops in.  i bought me a set for my 215b cab and it cost me 8 bucks.  break out your phone book(whats that) and find yourself an industrial wheel supply store in your area,    RB

Hi!
I bought a set of 4 Fender Wheels, and it's perfect! Thanks a lot ;)
Don't find yet the handle and the button.
